Thanks a bunch, Jim. The bellcrank mount is V shaped and is imbedded past the motor mount beams with a 1/8 piano wire keeper that goes through the bottom beam, on through the ply mounts and then on up through the top beam. (Aint a goin' nowhere.)
I'm the guy who, if a carpenter tells me to use three 8 penny nails to hold something, I use ten!
As to how it flies? Weeeeelll...errr, uuh, I haven't flipped a bloody prop on anything this season so far! I'm not sure what it is, but the desire to go out has totally left me at this time. I fly alone most of the time, Jeff Traxler is an hour away, so that means two hours on the road to go fly with him, and I've just let me get too involved in other activities to do that so far.
I WILL fly the beast yet this year, Lord willing, and promise to post it here when I do. I also have a new semi-scale stunter of my old Pawnee to fly for its first flight! (Lazy old goat that I am!)
